I'm not going to lie, I've been avoiding this post. At first it was because I told myself "I want practical experience with symbiosis before writing about it", but even as I sit here today I'm trying to think of other things I can do to avoid talking about the big pink elephant in the room that is Symbiosis. I suspect that part of the problem that I'm having with this is that I can see a good number of things being really great for our PvP Resto brethren, but it still doesn't remove the underwhelmed feeling that I get when I think about the ability for PvE restos.
The Problem: I think the biggest issue I have with symbiosis is that I don't really feel compelled to utilize it. That is to say that in most circumstances, the things that I gain from the ability just aren't something that I resort to when the shit hits the fan to make things better. While some of the abilities can potentially be lifesaving for me individually (ice block, ice bound fortitude), I am having a real issue resolving the fact that I feel really indifferent about having to use our staple "new" ability for this expansion. I understand that it's going to share around some raid utility, which will be more important in smaller raids and groups than larger raids, and that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water before we see how it works in a raid setting; but to me, the fact that I can completely ignore the ability in my most "oh shit" moments to date and still be just as effective as I was before symbiosis is really hard for me to reconcile.
Let me back track a little and talk about the experiences that I've had so far in the beta.
I've cast symbiosis in a 5 man setting on every class available in the beta. Right now, with regards to the spell, Monks are in a placeholder status – I gain swim speed and they gain…something equally as pointless. The best targets I've found to cast it on are DKs, Mages, Rogues or Hunters – as they all give me some sort of survival ability. However, to date, I've failed to use any of the abilities I've gained. Part of this is my failure, because similarly to barkskin, part of the onus of utilizing these mitigation abilities is on me – and I'd like to think that if I really needed something, I'd have used it. But part of the failure, I think, is on the talent itself as well – because even though I've had sketchy moments where perhaps those abilities would have been useful to me, I wasn't compelled, or even encouraged, to utilize them (rather, I just tossed ironbark on myself and kept trucking on), which is a really big problem.
Another part of the problem for me, in a PvE setting, is that the abilities that I gain from shaman, paladins and warriors are almost pointless and need to be adjusted (Spiritwalker's Grace, Cleanse and Intimidating Roar). And, when push comes to shove, the only time I've made what I consider to be "good use" of any of my gained abilities is when I life gripped a tank who just would not give me a minute to drink after pulling half the damn room.
On the other side of the fence, I'm fairly confident that the player on the receiving end of the ability received even less benefit than I did. In fact, I will tell you that I wished the warlock I gave symbiosis to would have made use of the rejuv he got from me rather than lifetapping down to 10% of his health mid-fight. Part of the symbiosis issue for the receiving party, I believe, is that the receiving player didn't know/realize that they had this new ability available to them – but part of it, I think, is that they were also not compelled to make use of the ability that they received.
Another small problem, that is more of a quality of life problem, is that if I haven't cast Symbiosis before we enter combat, I'm SoL. I think I understand why this is the case, Blizzard likely doesn't want symbiosis swapping mid-fight, but it really sucks if you don't have it up going into the encounter. I'd say that we should have a way to cast it in combat if it's not active, but the simple work around to that would be people canceling the buff mid-combat so that they can cast it on a new target. I'm not sure that there will be a fix to this, but it sure does suck if you forget to get it up before the pull (or someone runs out of range at the end of the VERY long cast). Perhaps shortening the cast time or making it instant would help somewhat to make sure it goes up, but still doesn't solve the problem of missing having it active when combat starts.
One of the other big issues with Symbiosis that I've come across so far is when there are multiple druids in a party. I've been grouped with both a moonkin and a guardian druid, both of whom also cast symbiosis. The problem that I'm stuck with when this happens is that in both circumstances they both were able to cast it on someone that would give them more gain from symbiosis than I would – even though that particular party would also be the best target in the group for me to give symbiosis. This then meant that I was left giving mine to a target who, literally, gave me nothing to work with in return (such as a paladin) or just not casting it at all. I think that this "problem" might be somewhat alleviated in a 25 man setting, where there are more targets to work with (although I do think it still has the potential to be a giant pain in the ass if you run very druid heavy) – I also think that a 10 man that has more than one druid is going to run into this problem with some frequency.
Which, again, brings me back to my biggest problem with this ability in its current format: the fact that there are times when there is no compelling reason for me to cast symbiosis, or utilize the abilities gain from symbiosis in a given group. And since this is supposed to be our staple ability this expansion, this should not ever be the case.
Potential Solutions: Blizzard is in a really interesting situation as far as Symbiosis is concerned. I really believe that they are trying to avoid having the Dark Intent problem again – that is to say an ability that will cause wide variances in performance based on whether or not you have the buff (of course, I'm having a really hard time reconciling this with Guardians and other tanks, but I'll let someone else deal with that particular can of worms). So I do feel that the abilities that we gain likely need to be utility related to meet this goal. And I think that I'm mostly OK with this, provided that the utility I'm given is useful. As such, the solution is to ensure that what we gain is something compelling.
I absolutely think that things like Ice Block, Evasion, Ice Bound Fortitude and Detterence can, and will, be useful in a raid setting. Damage mitigation is always something that can be useful – regardless of your role. I think they will be more useful in certain circumstances than in others, but I strongly suspect that you would always be able to find a time to make use of these abilities in an encounter if you put some effort into it. Druids who were excellent about utilizing bark skin will probably make use of the above abilities effectively.
However, I think that there is a lot of room for improvement with some of the other abilities that we are given. And I think for Symbiosis to be a successful skill, all abilities given should be compelling, so that there is always a choice. Let's take a look at the remaining abilities that we gain:
- Paladins – Cleanse. I really want to believe that this is just a placeholder ability right now, as resto druids can already cure/dispel. I think that it is likely Blizzard is still working out what Paladins should share with druids. However, in the event that I am wrong on this front, this is a really weak option for a resto druid and should be evaluated. I know that there was talk about Hand of Sacrifice being the original intent, and that it was canned because they felt it made resto druids unbalanced and/or meant that druids would always opt a paladin as their symbiosis target. If that is the case, why not explore giving druids one of the other hands. Maybe BoP? Or Salv? (is that still even in the game?). Both are less powerful than BoS – but still much more interesting and "useful" than Cleanse.
- Shaman – Spiritwalker's Grace. When I first read this, I thought it was a joke. Really. I mean, Druids are already the most mobile healers, why on earth would they need an ability that lets them heal on the move. The answer is that they really don't. As it stands right now, I don't see a shaman receiving Symbiosis from a resto druid unless they were the last person available to give it to. I've thought and thought about what I'd like to receive in return for selecting a shaman, and I think that my choice would be wind shear. I think having an interrupt would be a really great utility to gain – preventing damage can be almost as powerful as healing it. I'm not sure what implication this would have for PvP, but I'd like to think that it would be viable for both formats.
- Warrior – Intimidating Shout. This is something that I think PvP Restos are probably OK with, but as a PvE player I just don't see much viable use for it. Unfortunately, in looking at the warrior arsenal, I can't really find a much better option. Maybe pummel, for the same reasons I liked the idea of wind shear. Maybe heroic leap, for quick mobility.
- Warlock – Demonic Portal. You know, I think I'd probably be OK with demonic portal if I got to set my own portal. The fact that my ability to portal is limited to the location the warlock placed his portal really takes most of the steam out of this swap for me. While I'd love to see restos get the life tap option that the guardian see, I think that would imbalance healer mana too much, and would also mean restos would always want a warlock. I think just letting us set our own portal would make this a more viable option.
- Priests – Life Grip. Ok, I'm not going to lie, I'm all over the life grip payback. While it's use is limited in a raid setting, I'm OK with this ability transfer from the druid end (pretty sure priests feel that entangling roots is the short end of the stick, at least for PvE).
- Monks – I'm not really going to address monks right now, since we don't know what the trade is going to be. I will, however, say that their mana free self heal might be kind of cool (I think it costs them chi?). I know, I know, why would a healer want a self heal? Well, it's a pretty big fucking heal. And in a high stress situation, I almost always heal myself first, and I'd be all over a fat heal to top me off that didn't cost me a lick of mana.
One of the things that I think could help alleviate the issue with having multiple druids in a raid/group would be to allow multiple druids to cast symbiosis on the same target. The target would still receive only the one benefit, but it would let druids have a little more flexibility with who it is cast on, and solve a metric shit ton of "who is getting what symbiosis", while letting all druids retain the ability to choose what benefit they'd like to receive from Symbiosis. Keep in mind this is, first and foremost, supposed to be about the druid. Let everyone pick what they want, without limitation.
As for what everyone gains from Symbiosis? I'm going to be honest – I don't care. I believe that the focus of this ability should be more about the druid than about what the link receives. Whatever they get should just be gravy for them, a nice perk. It shouldn't be mandatory for them to use. It shouldn't be game breaking. It shouldn't give them a massive benefit, such that "class x having symbiosis" becomes mandatory. I'm sure this won't be a hugely popular opinion, but I pretty firmly believe that this should be paramount in the design of this ability.
I honestly do not know if anything would make me shout from the rooftops about symbiosis, and I think it is kind of unfortunate considering that it is our "new" shiny (and restos have had a serious short of new shiny), but if it is what we have to work with – I want to feel like this is an ability that I have a compelling reason to use. What do you think? Do you like Symbiosis? What, if anything, would you like to see changed?

Panel discussion with representatives of Triple Canopy, Cabinet, and Pastelegram
- April 9, 2013 7:00 PM
April 9-Panel discussion with representatives of Triple Canopy, Cabinet, and Pastelegram
Cabinet Magazine, Pastelegram, and Triple Canopy come together for this Tuesday Evenings presentation to consider and discuss the vibrant life and perceived challenges of today's art publications. Each has thoughtfully considered its unique contribution to a discourse that keeps us all engaged and informed, encouraging our intellectual curiosity to face the challenge of not becoming complacent in a gluttonous world of information that can leave us knowing and caring about less rather than more.
Triple Canopy's beautifully crafted online format determined five years ago to "create a magazine that could be read, really read online. Art that would be looked at for more than a few seconds. Small and large ideas given the time to make their case." Since then, it has pursued an "expanded field of publication," charting the relationships between digital technology and printed volumes, Web-specific artist projects and critical writing, and their various publics.
For its dense and handsome magazine, Cabinet looks to curiosity and method, represented philosophically and poetically by the fox and the hedgehog as their guiding principle, "dedicated to staging an encounter between these two outlooks in the belief that each can disrupt the familiar comforts and presumptions of the other, and that an ethics for how to understand—and therefore possibly change—the world can emerge from the fiction between them."
Finally, Pastelegram represents Texas. It is a new, innovative online and biannual print publication based in Austin that "takes focused looks at individual artist's projects and the texts and images that informed their creation. Dedicated to contemporary artists, art historians and critics as well as the myriad ideas that inform their projects, Pastelegram provides an international platform for the examination of artistic and historical practice."
This evening promises to be a lively and productive conversation that touches on the most contemporary and real issues of communication and art, as well as the broader culture that art engenders and shares.
Note: This panel discussion will be 1-1/2 hours.
The spring series for Tuesday Evenings at the Modern begins February 12 and ends April 23. These lectures and presentations by artists, architects, historians, and critics are held in the Modern's auditorium and begin at 7 pm. Free admission tickets (limit two) can be picked up at the Modern's information desk beginning at 5 pm on the day of the lecture. Seating begins at 6:30 pm and is limited to the first 250 ticketholders. A live broadcast of the lectures is shown in Café Modern for any additional guests. The Museum galleries remain open until 7 pm on Tuesdays during the series (regular gallery admission charge applies).
Café Modern is open for dinner on Tuesday nights during the lecture series. Enjoy a fine dining experience before or after the lecture; seating is available from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. For reservations, call 817.840.2157 or visit www.themodern.org/cafe.

OAK BLUFFS (CBS) – A man is accused of going on a very strange crime spree on Martha's Vineyard over the weekend.
Oak Bluffs police say Felix Reagan committed a series of crimes that left a dog painted purple on Saturday afternoon.
It all started when officers responded to Firehouse Lane for a report of a stolen motor vehicle that crashed, with the suspect fleeing on foot.
About 5 to 10 minutes later, police were called to a Pinewood Lane house that had been broken into. A resident there said they arrived home to find a ground level window forced in – and that's not all.
"Items were reported stolen and the victim's dog had been painted with purple paint," police said.
A neighbor told officers that a disheveled-looking man knocked on their door, and provided a description to police.
After a Webaqua Road resident called police to report a man looking in their window, police were able to track down Reagan and take him into custody.
They found purple paint on his pants, in addition to prescription pills, and a stolen driver's license and credit cards.
As he was being taken to the Oak Bluffs police station, officers say Reagan tried to kick out the cruiser's windows and kicked a police officer twice.
He is facing a number of charges, including cruelty to animals, assault and battery on a police officer, breaking and entering and destruction of property.
White folks be crazy, got to check my recipe.
Great stuff! You've been bookmarked.
Martha's vineyard does attract trash.
He painted the dog. Why does CBS find the color 'purple' significant? This is what idiot journalism looks like.
Hillary supporter, no doubt….
its a lowlife that does that to a dog. if he had a beef with the owner, face him. dont sneak around doing things to defenseless animals. he is a coward
I'm glad he just painted the dog instead of hurting it.
The poor dog could have died from blocking his pores with the paint…..
Who? What? Where? When?……..Story is a complete FAIL! without a photo of said dog…..
Yair I know, right?
PURPLE!?!?? He painted that poor dog PURPLE?!?!
OBVIOUSLY a post-traumatic BARNEY THE PURPLE DINOSAUR stress victim !!!
Oh to be HIS lawyer! Could we EVER dance with the 'insanity ' plea…
…and I don't think there is much precedent on painting a dog…!
I'd like to see the punk try to paint MY dog! He'd be missing the finger he used to press the button of the paint can – along with the rest of his arm!
I don't know which is stranger, a guy painting a dog purple or the comments on this board
Purple Lives Matter
Save everyone the time, expense and trouble of housing this urchin and just euthanize him for expediency. Call it a "mercy killing".
Paws up, don't paint!
Too bad for him he wasn't Syrian – they would have let him stay and live in the house, entitle him to full Ocommie govt. benefits, and chauffer him to the polls to vote in November.
Register him to vote. Dimocrat, of course. Where he won't stand out.
It figures such a thing would happen in a post-American place like Boston. Any liberal trying to paint an American's dog purple will either find his hand bitten off by the dog, or will receive a belly full of buckshot from the dog's owner–and I do mean OWNER, and not guardian!
drugs…? naaaaaaaa, couldn't be…
You can have my stuff but you start f'ing with my dog and you'll get your a** whipped …

Automakers save up their best technology for their most expensive luxury models. This is horse crap. Us regular car buyers should not be deprived of the best car companies have to offer.
This idea came from reader For Sweden, after we pointed out in our Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible review that the massively luxurious Bentley shares its ZF 8-speed transmission with a Ram pickup, only with different digital tuning.
All I gleaned from this article is that I need to put Bentley transmission software in a Ram truck.
Chrysler, how much could it cost to offer some software as an option? You just don't think we're worth it. Well, we are. We certainly are.
So what other technology or equipment, from engines, to chassis, to software is available in the most expensive super- and exotic cars that belongs in more pedestrian offerings?

Health care costs threaten to bankrupt our country. Debates over Medicaid expansion, the Medicare "doc fix," the State of Georgia's health plan, coverage of autism and so many other health care issues merely shift these costs from one party to another.
The time has come for a "let's go to the moon" challenge that truly addresses the underlying problems.
Higher education costs are on a similar trajectory. A few years ago, governors Rick Perry of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida challenged their higher education institutions to design a four-year bachelor's degree program for $10,000 or less.
Not $10,000 a year but $10,000 for all four years.
Many schools rose to the challenge, met it and now offer these low-cost degrees.
Why not health care? And why not Georgia as the leader? This state leads the nation in health care information technology, has some of the best health care institutions in the nation and is a leader in telemedicine. Despite this, many areas of the state continue to struggle with near Third-World health care conditions.
The challenge is this: Create affordable access to health care for $2,000 a person.
Why $2,000? This is about the amount taxpayers already pay to offset the unpaid medical bills for uninsured Georgians.
Start with a blank slate: Waive the rules and regulations that needlessly raise costs. Much like charter schools, waive regulations in exchange for accountability and results. Requirements would include reliable access to primary care and private insurance coverage for unexpected, catastrophic health care costs.
How realistic is this? Florida's pilot Medicaid program covers non-disabled adults for less than $2,000 per person. A "new" model of care, Direct Primary Care, is already available in many states and resembles the days before the complexities of insurance. Referred to as "concierge care for the little guy," these plans provide almost unlimited access to primary care services for around $800 per person. For many individuals, catastrophic health insurance policies to cover large expenses are as low as $100 a month.
With more flexibility, innovation and better use of technology, the goal becomes realistic.
Perhaps the best way to test the idea is to make the offer and let entrepreneurs fill the need. To avoid corporate cronyism – and because individuals have unique needs and should decide what's best for themselves – the $2,000 would be deposited into each person's Health Savings Account to fund any arrangement that meets the criteria. Individuals could choose from numerous options to help customize their coverage to their particular situation or condition.
There will, of course, be details to work out. Older Georgians and those with chronic diseases will be more costly, but payments could be adjusted to account for this. Keeping these individuals healthy is where the biggest costs savings lie. Unused funds would return to safety net providers to pay for the care of the uninsured.
Far better than expanding traditional Medicaid, this serves not only as a way to provide coverage for the uninsured, but the costs of health care would be driven down by innovation, benefiting everyday working Georgians. No one would have a problem finding a doctor to see them; no one would lie awake at night worrying what would happen if they were diagnosed with cancer.
If we can put a man on the moon, we can find a way to provide affordable health care. If the private sector can fly rockets to the International Space Station, the private sector can find a way to offer quality care at affordable costs.
Georgia is well positioned to answer this $2,000 health care challenge and provide hope for the rest of the nation. The savings to taxpayers would be in the billions of dollars. Lower health care costs for businesses would make them more globally competitive, leading to a surge of new job creation.
What are we waiting for? Let's get started.

Bombay Bicycle Club came by the Studio in LA to record an acoustic set for SiriusXM. We caught up with Ed and Suren in the Studio Listening Room afterward about how their sound has changed throughout the years, and what influenced them along their journey.
NG: So you guys are on the road constantly. What's life like when you're at home?
Ed: Well we still live with our parents at the moment.
NG: No.
Ed: Yeah we started touring so much we moved back in with our parents. Because that way when you're on tour you don't have to worry about rent or think about your house. You just have to think about what your mum's doing to your shit.
NG: So what are you listening to when you're at home? What's that look like?
Ed: At home – before I moved back to my mum's house – I did listen to Sonos. It was kind of the perfect thing because you could just go on the WiFi and put your Spotify on and just play whatever you want. And if you were having parties you could just put it on.
NG: Just not at mom's house. Suren what about you?
Suren: I just bought a record player a couple of months ago because it got to a point where I was just listening to music on my laptop with a pair of headphones and I realized that's a bit of a crappy way to listen to music. So I'm starting to build up my vinyl collection at the moment. My sister and her husband recently moved out of my house so I moved my HiFi system and my record player in.
NG: So when you're making music, how do you envision people listening to it – on their laptops or?
Ed: Well that's in the back of our minds when we're making it. And that's obviously not how we want people to listen to the music at all but that's certainly a thought. And you don't cater to it but – I think Quincy Jones used to do this – a lot of people mix on a shitty radio as opposed to a big sound system so you can hear what people will be listening to.
NG: How do you describe your sound?
Ed: Guitar driven indie rock back. We've done a more acoustic album, and we've done an album with a bit of electronic. But I don't think there was ever really a conversation about it. We were like, "well we want to make this kind of different sounding record,' and I think that very influenced the albums. And when we started the band we were a lot younger. So I guess, as you grow up, you want to change what you do, and you get kind of restless and bored and you kind of mix things up as opposed to getting stuck in your ways.
NG: What's that process like?
Suren: I often find a song I like and then I'll just listen to that on repeat for a long time before listening to anything else.
Ed: There's a legendary night where Suren listened to All of the Lights by Kanye West like 200 times. All evening.
Suren: That was on one of our American tours actually. That's one of the best albums I've ever heard. I was obsessed with that for a long time. That was at the point where he'd been making a dick out of himself for a year, and then he came out with that and kind of redeemed himself.
NG: What's a song of yours that you think you really nailed, that represents you well?
Ed: If I had to pick a song that represents us right now, I guess I'd tell people to listen to the first song or the last song on the most recent record. I think it kind of encapsulates all the things we tried to do before – they change and the songs progress and it's kind of a journey so there's some electronic dance influences in there and then it's guitar driven in other points. At this point it's the best amalgamation of everything we've tried to do.
Suren: There's a song "Always Like This" on our first album as well. Whereas now we feel a bit disconnected from our first album – a lot of the songs on the first album were written when we were like 15, 16, so they're about teenage high, and we don't really relate to that stuff anymore, but I think "Always Like This" is slightly different. I can't ever see us not playing that one.
NG: Okay so last question: who's the designated DJ when you're on the road?
Ed: Our sound guy, John, he's in his early fifties now and he's got kids and a wife and family and he sees himself as quite a dj and he has an extensive knowledge of all different kinds of music. So he sets up his laptop and he's so happy DJ'ing. And you're like, "John, how about some 80's new wave or something" and he'll be like "RIGHT" and then for the next two hours you'll be blasted with all kinds of music you've never heard before. It's kind of like an education in music.

Wild fire: Blaze chars Wild Wing Caf�©
An early morning fire at Wild Wing Caf© on West Main Street has been extinguished with no injuries, but there may be water and smoke damage, as sprinklers inside the restaurant activated and hose-wielding crews extinguished the blaze, according to Charlottesville Fire Chief Charles Werner.
Units responded within five minutes of the 6:34am call to 911, and the fire, which was limited to the porch but spread smoke throughout the interior, was knocked down within 10 minutes, according to Chief Werner.
By early afternoon, the Fire Marshal had completed his investigation, according to Deputy Chief Britt Grimm, who says investigators were able to pinpoint the location of origin on the porch close to the building, but were unable to determine the cause. Grimm says investigators found no sign of arson. No estimate of damages was available.
Amtrak, which shares the building with Wild Wing, was cleared to resume operations this morning. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered.

Someone tried to put out their cigarette on a plant. Too bad the plant was so dry it caught on fire.
isn't this where Morgan Harrington's scent was found? why is it just about any location linked to MH at all burns down? if i were a crazy person who liked to set fires and abduct / murder girls i would be heading straight for Virginia. you all can't catch a cold.
They should have let the dump burn down.
PS pave the parking lot already.
I'm confused - how can arson be ruled out if the cause of the fire is unknown?
Is this the same as a "struggle" being ruled out when a purse is found in a parking lot with the contents scattered?
Yes SJones, very interesting. Wonder if this fire will remain under investigation for awhile like the Sutherland Road fire back in January. Just sayin'.
Fantastic food. Fantastic place.
I don't think the parking lot belongs to them. The parking lot belongs to................anyone know who the parking lot belongs to?
It would be interesting to get an estimate as to what fixing that parking lot would cost. I would say $100,000. Not easy money to come by. It's like trying to drive across the Moon.
I eat there a lot and LOVE it!
So I'll pitch in $5 towards repaving the lot. Anyone else?
Crow, I admit, I did make a few statements that were out of line and that I shouldn't have posted. For those, I apologize. Fortunately, we learn from our mistakes.
I'm not going to discuss it further ~ I think my time will be better spent researching sexual assaults that occurred between 2005 and 2009 to see if any look like they could be related to Morgan's case.
Ari is correct. Mr. Silverman has refused to pave the lot and has the whole property "on the market" for some ridiculous asking price and is essentially waiting for the City to come in and take it off his hands so he doesn't have to spend his own money on it. Pretty pathetic if you ask me - you can't force him to do anything, as it IS his property. It would be a big boost to "Mid-town" to have this parking lot paved/striped.
I believe that the lot is owned by Gabe Silverman. I do not know why he won't fix it. Even just a grading and new gravel would be an improvement.
PR fim in NJ? You are giving her waaaaaaaaaaay too much credit. She's a low-budget Nancy Grace wannabe. I'm sure she's on an old PC with a dial-up modem, plotting away, with a pack of feral cats at her feet...
this IS my country. doesn't anyone get held accountable anymore in the United States? or did that all change for Virginia when 9-11 took place. remain complacent and you will be the next to experience tragedy first hand.
C'mon ain't lyin - that parking lot is ATROCIOUS
Perhaps this was caused by [insert ethnic group of your choice here] lightning.
SJones, I like you more and more. You put it all out here with honesty and see things in more of the 'grey' realm. Most here seem to think in a very 'black and white' manner. The grey areas are pretty controversial, unsafe territory, leaves one vulnerable to a degree but also where much of the big picture resides, where creativity is generated. I appreciate alot of where you come from even if it isn't popular to some. JMO and hope you get what I'm saying.
Osama, come on, ALL crimes and murders are resting on this case? Maybe you should get busy looking into the 05 Fairfax rape if you think this case is so omnipotent. Following your thinking, the world should stop til this case is figured out. Might as well not go to work tomorrow either........more of this black and white thinking. Life may not be moving forward to you Osama since MH's death, but has for 99.99999% of us.
And SJones, your point is???: ). BTW, one cannot be friends with another online unmet. But I like you as an online persona be that as it may.
Okay I see what you are saying. Thought in an earlier post you were making another connection with Osama re: MH and her death and Wild Wings. See now that you weren't, but nonetheless think all your points about the place are right on and make sense to me. I see Osama has returned, hopefully to his country.....
OMG! Whatsrightwhatswrong aka Justice for Morgan aka J4M aka--I'll let others guess on these.......is Janie too!!!! Who's missing SJones exactly?
S Jones, don't know if it's you or not :( I'll check your MySpace page later tonight for an indication ~ how about a new picture? Got my YouTube account "unblocked" finally ~ what a hassle!!!
SJones, your views on this fire have been right on and muchly appreciated here. Also on your posts on Baldi-good stuff and thanks.
P.S. Don't want to take any risks ~ as mentioned, I'll check your MySpace page ~ not your FaceBook page ~ although I'll be looking at that as well :)
where was blink this morning? hmmmm?
Blink was busy trying to convince the world she should either a)replace Joez Baez as Casey Anthony's attorney, or b) be the prosecutor, jury and judge in the same case.
Her own words in the matter: "There is a zero percent chance Mr. Baez wants to any sort of deposition with me, of that I am positive.
He knows I already know his case better than he does, and I am not saying that to be snark, his lack of copyright law notwithstanding, it would seem to me then he had no business brokering same for his client.
If that isn't the most egotistical statement I have ever seen, I do not know what would be. Yet she refuses to ever state what her qualifications are to make such statements. Please, she is a PR firm in Jersey.
In the meantime, the city would have no use, or money, for that parking lot (that runs parallel to West Main Street.)
Has UVa ever offered to buy it?
Just pouring gravel in to the holes would cost thousands of dollars.
The City itself would have no use for the parking lot - the adjacent "Mid-town" businesses would, though. But you are correct - the City has no money for this lot, and it shouldn't be the City's job to provide this parking.
Why would UVA want this lot?
JPJ didn't burn, nor did her apt, nor her parents home, or VT, so just what are you trying to say actually Mr. Osama? Also it wasn't conclusive that her scent was at the wing place anyway. The bridge was the last place her scent was located.
if i were a crazy person who liked to set fires and abduct / murder girls
Okay something burned, but to bring MH into every single event that occurs around here is a bit much. Not everything revolves around that case, even if some would like to believe that it does. SJones what do you mean exactly?
until you solve the murder of a college student female in your town she will be brought into every single case. everything revolves around that case until it is solved. if you can't solve that case, then none of the the others matter. there is nothing more fundamental than keeping your constituents save. to protect and to serve. that is it. everything else doesn't matter. but please continue the ignorance... it is great to educate the small minded people of Charlottesville Unablemarle and confederate Virginia. have a nice day!
SJones I have been known to be absurd from time to time, however not online typically :), at least not to my knowledge fortunately. I agree with you about Ms. Stuart, excellent journalist and a pleasure to follow her work. As for the issue of bating, not sure how one could be 'guilty of bating' as you say you were as being 'bated' is the fault of the bater and not the batee-their shame in this. Lord knows I've been bated and duped, lived to tell the tale and wiser for it. Guess all we can do is live and learn. However there is no such thing as any form of intimacy online in spite of how it may appear or appeal. Herein lies the wicked aspect of spending so much time online rather than with loved ones or out in the world living life. Okay now I'm sounding my age....outta here.
Who is complacent? What are you talking about?
Why did you choose the online name "Osama"?
jj malloy - who, what, where, when, why and how? don't you have any answers? why did you choose the online name "jj malloy"?
Why did I choose JJ Malloy? It is very close to my real name, and it also a character from James Joyce's Ulysses.
Enough about names, who are you accusing of being complacent? Were you referring to all Virginians, or all Charlottesville residents, or what?
Thanks in advance
referring to Charlottesville / Albemarle County ... dead girl, no results. not the first to go unsolved in the area. there is something wrong when a girl turns up dead 2 months later and no one knows anything. LE needs to figure this out.
C'mon S Jones (the one and only "original" S Jones), chime in here. I miss you.
Janie misses you too. She IS real and she is ALL woman. Don't let the haters confuse you S Jones.
What's wit u WRWW aka J4M? Always thinkin u get to folk wit ur insinuatin and postin crazee bs. Gat called on it @BOC 2.
Maybe it's time to clean the grease traps and ventilation? All them chicken wangs can clog up more than just your arteries.

Succulent, melt in your mouth meat that is a rich mix of flavours and a popular starter – Kebabs – I love sheekh kebabs the most and close on their heels are Chapali Kebabs. I decided to do a taste experiment and used 500gm of lamb mince or kheema to make Chapali Kebabs using a packet shop bought ready to cook masala mixture and used the remaining 500gm of lamb mince to make the very same kebabs using a mixture of my own spices and homemade garam masala – oh yes I finally got around to making my own Garam Masala (recipe coming up this week with a huge surprise!)
But before I let you in on my easy peasy recipe a "sliceoff" history behind the dish – oh yes – every great recipe has a story!
The word Chapli derives from the Pashto word Chaprikh which means flat. It is prepared flat and round and served with naan.Kebab (also kebap or kabab) is a Middle Eastern dish of pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit originating in the Eastern Mediterranean and later adopted in Central Asia and by the regions of the former Mongol Empire and later Ottoman Empire, before spreading worldwide.Indian cuisine is widely influenced by the various rulers and dynasties that ruled and colonised India at various periods including the British Raj. The Mughal Empire has left a heavy influence on the food,culture and tradition and is deeply woven into the fabric of society to create a new ,beautiful and modern day cuisine that has been adapted,modified to local taste and is now our own.
In American English, kebab with no qualification refers to shish kebab (Turkish: ?i? kebap) cooked on a skewer, whereas in Europe it refers to doner kebab, sliced meat served in a pita. In the Middle East, however, kebab refers to meat that is cooked over or next to flames; large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls. The traditional meat for kebab is lamb, but depending on local tastes and religious prohibitions, other meats may include beef, goat, chicken, pork or fish. Like other ethnic foods brought by travellers, the kebab has remained a part of everyday cuisine in most of the Eastern Mediterranean and South Asia.
Though traditionally these are kebabs are large and very flat – almost as large as the palm of your hand , I wanted to make a smaller patty , easy to fry and serve as a starter and easy to pop in the mouth while wielding a chilled glass of wine don't you think?
- 500gm of lamb mince or kheema
- 1 tsp of dried pomegranate seeds
- 2 tsp freshly crushed ginger
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 heaped tsp red chilli powder
- 1 heaped tsp coriander powder
- 1 heaped tsp Cumin powder
- a handfull of fresh coriander leaves finely chopped
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 a medium juicy red tomato finely chopped
- 2 small green chilli finely chopped
- 3 small eggs
- Salt to taste
- 3 heaped tsps of rice flour or corn meal
- In a large mixing bowl ,crack the eggs and beat lightly, add all the spices and mix with a fork.
- Then work in the corn flour and then the meat.
- Ensure any excess water is drained out and then add the finely chopped tomatoes and red onions.
- Spread a large sheet of kitchen plastic foil on a flat table or kitchen platform and place the flatted patties on it,cover with another sheet and refrigerate.
- If like me you like in a tiny but expensive urban flat with the an open plan kitchen – read tiny as a birds nest,then probably bets to leave the entire mixture in the bowl,cover and refrigerate for about half an hour.
- In a kadhai or wok take enough oil for frying and fry them , serve hot with lots of chopped tomato and red onions.
- Delicious with a fresh green coriander mint chutney or the life saving ketchup 🙂

The initiative to develop the global strategy came as a response to the declining quantity and quality of agricultural statistics. The global strategy will also address the emerging data requirements posed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), mainly on biofuels, global warming, the environment and food security.
Policy makers at the national and international level and those developing investment strategies to enhance economic development face many challenges with the changing face of agriculture in the 21st century. While agriculture is the primary source to feed, clothe, and provide materials for fuel and housing for a growing world population, the challenge is at the same time to lift millions of people out of poverty and hunger, reduce the impact of agriculture on the environment and global warming, and sustain water and land resources. These are issues that go beyond national boundaries.
The purpose of the global strategy is to provide the vision for national and international statistical systems to produce the basic data and information to guide the decision making required for the 21st century. The global strategy is based on a thorough assessment of data user needs and what is currently available.

Newswise — The creative use of Twitter and other technology to teach and promote French has earned a University of South Carolina associate professor knighthood by the French government. Dr. Lara Lomicka Anderson, a faculty member in the College of Arts and Sciences, has been honored by France's Ministery of Education with the Chevalier dans l'Ordre des palmes academiques. Anderson will be knighted and honored with a medallion during a visit by the consul general this fall. The order, which was established by Napoleon Bonaparte and is one of the world's oldest orders of knighthood, recognizes significant academic contributions to the study and advancement of the French language. Anderson and Dr. Lara Ducate, a USC faculty member who teaches German, garnered public attention last fall for their use of the micro-blogging tool Twitter to encourage students to practice their foreign language skills through online conversation. They say it has fostered conversation and built a sense of community in and outside of the classroom. Anderson's selection for knighthood stems from her success in integrating technology and scholarship. She has shared her successful use of technology to promote French through scholarly articles in the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) publications and other scholarly journals, presentations on foreign language teaching techniques at academic conferences and through her work as chairman of the AATF Commission on Telematics and New Technologies.
She has received funding for her research from the American Council on Education and AT&T, and in 2008 was honored with the National Award for Excellence in Technology by The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language and Cengage Learning.
Anderson is software review editor for The Computer-Assisted Language Instruction Consortium Journal, and is co-editor of the book, "The Next Generation: Social Networking and Online Collaboration in Foreign Language Learning."

As an adjunct professor to the entrepreneurship class at a Michigan business school, I get asked questions from an intelligent group of students--all of whom are on the verge of starting the next Google. Or lemonade stand. Or something in between.
Over time, I've noticed that many of my answers seem to come straight out of a kindergartner's mind, demonstrating some innate childhood logic that is, invariably, the exact opposite of what my teachers taught me. Judge for yourself:
Student: "How do I get started on my
My answer: "Act before you think."
Too many people spend far too long thinking and planning when they should be doing. I say, just start. I don't care how. Get moving: Build something, sell something, see where it goes. If you spend too long analyzing how difficult it's going to be to launch your business, you will likely learn that, yep, it's too hard to even start.
Student: "How do I get funding?"
My answer: "Fake it, take it, then earn it."
Let's be honest, 95 percent of any startup's pitch deck is filled with bogus stats, financials and references--and your investors know it. They pay much more attention to your talents and to what you've delivered in the past than to your predictions for the future. The key is to take this BS, drum up every ounce of credibility you have and meld them together to try to deliver on a promise.
Student: "How do I sell my company and actually make
My answer: "Don't play nice."
Everyone dreams of the gazillion-dollar IPO, but the vast majority of successful founders exit after being bought out. Reaching that point usually involves being a pain-in-the-ass threat to a competitor's business--ideally one with deep pockets and money to burn.
Robert Fulghum's book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten says we'd all do better if we stuck to the basic rules of kindness, sharing and personal responsibility we're taught that first year in school. While that credo might apply to a better life, entrepreneurship--like those 5-year-olds running around the playground--is often about breaking rules.

Custom Stereograms

How to View Stereograms
At first look stereogram is similar to nothing more but a tiled pattern, however, with a proper look you can discover amazing 3D image hidden inside. And it's not just a play of imagination, the hidden image is very realistic. You will see exactly what was put in by a stereogram artist.
Basically you need to unfocus your eyes and look through the stereogram. Picture becomes blurry and doubled and that exactly what we want. This will make pattern tiles to overlap each other and each eye will be seeing slightly different image. Disparency in views will make your brain see hidden 3D image.
Some people who have problems with binolular vision most likely will not be able to see hidden image. Other vision issues such as nearsightedness and farsightedness will not affect much your ability to see stereograms. Check vision3d.com website for details.
There are different methods to learn seeing stereograms, one or another may work out better for you, though all will require some patience.
You can try both stereogram on monitor and printed on paper.
Method 1 - Face it
Method 2 - Relax Your Vision
Method 3 - Look Through
Method 4 - Reflection
Method 5 - Blink Your Eye
Method 6 - Transparency
Method 7 - Anaglyph

It's always been a rule in our family that every vehicle always has a set of battery cables onboard. That rule has served us well over the years, but this week it struck me (in one of those "Duh!" moments) that there's now a better, possibly cheaper way to deal with the risk of a dead battery.
Special jumper batteries have flooded the automotive market in recent years. They are nothing more than compact, sealed batteries specially designed to (1) hold a charge for extended periods of time, and (2) release that charge in large, quick bursts. I've had for three years a JNC 300XL jumper battery manufactured by Clore Automotive. It's smaller than a loaf for bread and weighs less than 10 pounds. It has hard-wired cables with nice big alligator clamps on the ends, as well as a built-in charge indicator and a nice carrying handle. I charge it once a year and it's always ready to jump-start a faulty lawn mower or personal vehicle.
My "Duh!" moment came when I realized that it's cheaper and more efficient to put a JNC 300XL in each of our vehicles than it is to keep the battery cables. With battery cables my wife or I end up standing in a parking lot looking for a generous soul to provide a "jump". With a battery pack, we just pop the hood, clamp the cables to appropriate battery terminals, and hit the key switch. A good set of 15-foot long battery cables with 12 guage wire and good alligator clamps costs from $60 to $100. You can buy a JNC 300XL online for $58.
I could say I'm noble, and doing this so my wife won't have to stand in the school parking lot holding her battery cables, hoping someone will share their battery with her. In truth, if she's got a jumper battery she's self-sufficient, a modern woman in control of her life, in need of no man.
Though there's still a good chance I'll get a phone call and end up driving to town to hook up the battery pack's cables so she won't get her good clothes dirty...

This is a cosmopolitan city, youthful, laid-back and proud of a history going back more than 1,200 years. Whether as a bishop's seat, a member of the Hanseatic League or a university city – Münster has always played an important role in the region and far beyond. The city earned its place in the annals of world history when the Treaty of Westphalia was signed there.
Is this Germany's most beautiful city? Many people would certainly say yes. What's more, the city has won an award for having the best quality of life in the world. Münster is a place that keeps its history very much alive – and its houses, churches and squares can tell plenty of stories about the past. This is particularly true in the historical city centre, for example Prinzipalmarkt. This square is surrounded by 48 gabled buildings, including the distinctive town hall and the municipal wine house, joined together by an arcade to create a delightful backdrop. Nowadays, Prinzipalmarkt is also a delight for shoppers. Nearby Salzstrasse, Münster's oldest mercantile street, has a number of attractions to explore – most notably the baroque treasures of Erbdrostenhof Palace, the Dominican Church and the Church of St. Clement's with its beautiful baroque garden. Not far beyond that is the Ludgeri quarter with its restaurants, pubs and cafés. A few steps further and you will reach the prestigious Rothenburg, where the Picasso Museum has found a magnificent home in the Druffel'schen Hof. From there it's not far to the cathedral square, where the mighty Cathedral of St. Paul's with its treasury and the Westphalian State Museum of Art and Art History can be found. Other fascinating places of interest in Münster's old town are the Kiepenkerl and Kuhviertel districts. This area, around the Church across the Water, is perhaps the most historical part of old Münster. It combines local history and local highlife in a maze of quaint alleys.
A detour to the Kreativkai waterfront, Münster's top night spot by the city docks, is highly recommended and not just on balmy summer evenings. Here among the old dockland buildings and their sparkling new counterparts, you can discover an exciting mixture of art and culture, cafés, restaurants and trendy clubs virtually around the clock, in a stylish riverside setting. This area is also where you will find the AZKM – Münster's contemporary art exhibition hall – which opened in 2004. It regularly puts on individual and group exhibitions by contemporary artists of national and international standing as well as displays of works by both established names and promising newcomers. Somewhat older, the independent artist community Schanze (founded in 1919) has long played a key role in Münster's cultural scene owing to the many exhibitions it arranges. And going back even further, we reach a very significant date in European history: 24 October 1648, the day on which the Peace of Westphalia officially ended the Thirty Years' War. Although Münster will forever be associated with this event, the city is also firmly rooted in the here and now. This is evident from the proliferation of the locals' favourite mode of transport: the bicycle. As many as 100,000 people cycle in the city every day, and there are two bicycles for every resident. Even the police pedal their way to crime scenes, while the 'bike station' at the main train station can accommodate 3,500 cycles, making it Germany's largest bike parking facility. So anyone who wants to discover the real Münster should get on their bike! Finally, you should know that the bicycle is often referred to as a Leeze here. Now you are all set for a perfect visit to a perfect city and you can decide for yourself whether Münster is Germany's most beautiful city.

I fear
that when I say what I feel
I will be looked at differently
or my feelings were deemed nonsense
or that it is not mutually felt
or that
I will be seen as weak.
I can't afford to be weak.
Life didn't wait
for someone to ask me if I'm okay
or for me to heal
or for my troubles to fade
They will keep on coming.
I am tired.
I am in pain.
I am.. unhappy, admittedly.
Of myself and my shortcomings
and the world and its cruelty.
Enough for me to consider flying away
if you understand.
But no
there is someone out there
a huge group, even
who suffered worst-
so I can't afford to be
a pussy.
I dare not to share my feelings anymore

- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 c melted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 - 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 1/2 cups Wilton chocolate candy melts (or melting chocolate of your choice)
- toothpicks
- waxed paper
1. Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter together until a soft dough forms. If it's a little bit dry or too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir until it becomes the consistency of Play-Doh.
2. Dump the dough onto waxed paper and pat it into a large circle, about 1/2 to 2/3 inch thick. Use a small cookie cutter (we used a circle Play-Doh punch) to make small shapes out of the dough. Arrange the cut-outs onto a plate and put them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
3. Melt chocolate in a glass container for 30 seconds in the microwave. Remove, stir and heat another 30 seconds if needed. Repeat until the chocolate is runny enough for dipping. (Do not overheat!)
4. Remove peanut butter cut-outs from the freezer. Use a toothpick to skewer one of the shapes through the side of the shape (not through the top.) Dip it in the chocolate and gently shake off the excess into the bowl. Place the candy on waxed paper to harden. (If there's a spot where the peanut butter didn't get completely covered – usually where the toothpick was – just drop a little bit of chocolate on that spot with a spoon.)

The Seminar, hosted by the Government of Uzbekistan, is organized by ICAO and supported by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). It will address Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) standards and best practices, assistance and capacity-building needs of States, identification management and related border security issues.
The aim of the meeting was to discuss issues of co-operation in fighting drugs and the exchange of information on drug traffickers and drug supply routes in the region.
The aim of the conference is to assess the Police (and Customs) Co-operation Centres (P(C)CCs') technical and operational capacity to identify the gaps to be addressed in order to provide for better co-ordination, co-operation and real time information exchange mechanism among the border security and management services in the region.
The aim of this training is to enhance the skill level of investigators from the countries of South-Eastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia), who deal with highly complex computer crimes, as well as computer related crimes with an emphasis on digital forensics.
This roundtable is organised by the TNTD's Border Security and Management Unit (BSMU) and Strategic Police Matter Unit (SPMU) in close co-operation with the Office of the Coordinator for Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEAA) and aims at taking stock of past and ongoing initiatives on integrity and countering corruption in border and law enforcement agencies in South-Eastern Europe in an effort to enhance co-ordination of future joint activities in this sphere as well as mutually complement each other's endeavours in promoting integrity in border and law enforcement agencies in the region.

Greetings Knitters!
I am back... having been nowhere in particular, for over two months!!! I shall spare you my musings on my being busy blah, blah, blah... because honestly though, who isn't? Nothing makes for more boring conversation/blog reading than 'busy talk' anyway.
But let's just say that life has happened, it's all good, but I am glad to be back here on the blog.
Things may be a tad more hectic than when I spoke to you last (I am working full time once again, and YES!!! My job is yarn related! PHEW!) but I shall talk about all of that at a later date.
In the meantime, I just wanted to check in, and let you know that I am still knitting lots.
Well, here's a quick selfie to prove it.
|What you can't see... is the fabulous faux fur pompom
from Mokuba that is perched atop this hat!
A hat/cowl combo that I made for myself as soon as the temperature took a real dive sometime in mid-January,
The hat was a pattern that I made up as I went, and it actually worked! (Believe me... it doesn't tend to!), using a yarn by Madelinetosh that was a BD gift from a dear friend.
The cowl is some super chunky wool by Americo, that I happened to pick up at Creative Yarns one evening after work, when all I really 'needed' was a set of needles. Funny how that happens... isn't it?
And so my friends, I hope that you are all well, and still knitting tonnes.
I shall touch base with you in a day or so.
Thank you for still being there! It means a lot.
And it is so nice to finally be back.

Coffee + Snacks
Coffee & Tea plus smaller meals and snacks are available every day from our little shed at the bottom of the beer garden.
The Deli does Breakfast
simple but utterly delicious granolas, jams, yoghurts, and breads, all made by local artisans with the greatest of care, are available from the café. Choose what you like and then layer them into a glorious breakfast.
The Deli
The Deli is a curation of Wandering Cooks' dreams for Brisbane- of a city full to the brim with loving producers, creating products that derive their heart from loving farmers. Some of the selections we have made come direct from this city's producers, and some from slightly further afield. How far afield depends on how far we've had to reach to find a perfect example of what we dream of.
The Charter
All food makers who serve meals in our warehouse are active members of
The Wandering Cooks Charter
. This means they've made a commitment to a more ethical, sustainable food future for Brisbane by challenging themselves to source their ingredients carefully and close the loop between soil and food. We're all on a learning curve with this project so thank you for supporting us to create this change.

'Black ice', speed blamed for deadly wreck
One dead, another injured in single-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 in Alton
A 24-year-old woman from Lincoln died early Friday morning when her SUV skidded off Interstate 95 in Alton and hit a tree, bursting into flames.
Maine State Police said Jessi-Rai Dawn Burleigh was trapped inside the burning SUV after it crashed around 5:30 a.m. Her passenger, Anthony Dupuis, 38, of Greenbush, was thrown from the vehicle, police said. He suffered life-threatening injuries.
State police said Burleigh was heading south when she lost control in foggy condition son a bridge after hitting black ice. The SUV left the road, rolled several times, hit a tree and then burst into flames, state police said.
Neither Burleigh or Dupuis was wearing a seat belt, state police said. An autopsy will be done to determine Burleigh's cause of death.
Police said weather conditions and speed were factors in the crash.

'Continuous dialogue between research and practice' is a guiding idea that SCHAUMANN has followed ever since the company was founded. In due course this guiding idea led to the founding of Irene Schaumann Forschungsgesellschaft mbH in 1984. In the course of its 25-year-plus existence the company, now known as ISF SCHAUMANN FORSCHUNG, has developed into a standalone division within the SCHAUMANN Group with two locations at Pinneberg and Wahlstedt.
First comes the idea, then the product
Based on the latest scientific research findings, a team of agricultural scientists develop principles aimed at optimising feeding and feed preservation concepts. Close collaboration with SCHAUMANN's product management at the Pinneberg location guarantees the necessary customer feedback.
Research - in vitro and in vivo
The Wahlstedt location, with its specially trained chemists and microbiologists, concentrates on laboratory tests and research. ISF's close proximity to the Huelsenberg Research Farm allows the practical application of product innovations to be tested straight away under controlled conditions. The broad spectrum of research ranges from feed analyses to research in the areas of feed preservation, silage technology, milk replacers and feed acids.
Special active ingredients and product lines for the SCHAUMANN Concept
SCHAUMANN benefits from ISF's activities in the form of specially developed active ingredients and new product lines: a notable example is that of our own EU-wide licensed probiotics. The research unit's other achievements include biological silage additives, specialised products for the TMR feeding strategy, the milk replacer range and the effective SCHAUMANN feed acids.
Microbiology research unit
In the area of microbiology ISF has been working closely with LACTOSAN, another SCHAUMANN Group company, since early 2006. LACTOSAN's research unit gives access to additional laboratory facilities and a team of microbiologists.

text: Paramount to co-produce Beverly Hills Cop for CBS now that Paramount is getting back into TV production. This shows Paramount is thinking about exploiting their film franchises on TV, and if they had organizational difficulties with CBS, as has been long rumored, that's all in the past. The Viacom & Paramount honchos keep mentioning Star Trek as being a valuable property, in the memo at that link and here. Anyway I thought it was interesting enough to merit a thread for posting news that might relate to the development of a new series. Let's see where it goes.
